The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio by Terry Ryan

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio introduces Evelyn Ryan, an enterprising woman who kept poverty at bay with wit, poetry, and perfect prose during the contest era of the 1950s and 1960s. Evelyn's winning ways defied the church, her alcoholic husband, and antiquated views of housewives. To her, flouting convention was a small price to pay when it came to raising her six sons and four daughters.
Graced with a rare appreciation for life's inherent hilarity, Evelyn turned every financial challenge into an opportunity for fun and profit. The story of this irrepressible woman, whose clever entries are worthy of Erma Bombeck, Dorothy Parker, and Ogden Nash, is told by her daughter Terry with an infectious joy that shows how a winning spirit will always triumph over poverty.

Terry Ryan has been teaching pet dog lessons and a range of other skills to dogs for more than 50 years. She travels the world teaching chicken training workshops and instructor courses. Terry is a Karen Pryor Academy faculty member and the author of the books Teaching Humans to Train Their Dogs and The Toolbox for Developing a Wonderful Family Dog.
